Colors that go with #cb2025
Royal Blue, Steel Blue and Teal lead the list. Each partner is a real named colour with the reason it works — a wheel relationship, a neutral that carries it, or a pairing lifted from a palette or brand system that actually shipped — and every pair opens in the palette tool.
Royal Blue #4169e1
triadicshippedRoyal Blue completes a triad with #cb2025 — three hues spaced evenly round the wheel, the classic way to get energy into a palette without a clash.
Steel Blue #4682b4
split-complementshippedSteel Blue is a split-complement of #cb2025: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Teal #008080
complementaryshippedTeal sits directly opposite #cb2025 on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.

Blue #0000ff
shipped7 real palettes, including Tim Hortons's brand system and native Cybersecurity's brand system put Blue beside #cb2025, as the accent.
Charcoal #36454f
neutralshippedCharcoal is the body-text near-black for #cb2025: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.

Denim #1560bd
